A couple days ago I gave you all a glimpse into my mom and my mother-daughter trip. Taking one of those as an adult is really important because you start to realize how much closer you are to your mom when you’re not trying to keep things from her as a teen/college student who’s obviously getting into some sort of trouble. It’s a whole new perspective when you realize you and your mother have a lot more in common than you think, and she can actually give you some pretty good advice. Especially because watching you grow up, she probably knows a lot more about you than you thought, or that you even knew yourself. Rude Awakening.

On our trip, we visited Paris. A very romantic city – but spending time there with my mom was a blast. As you might have guessed, we were instantly drawn to Avenue des Champs-Élysées. We did the whole tour thing but the best parts were the shopping, taking in the view atop the Eiffel Tower, and eating French food – of course. On one of those cold nights after walking until our legs practically froze over, we made it over to a small street lined with shops and restaurants. We found ourselves in a cozy restaurant that served none other Quiches. It was perfect.
